"Thou knowest, O my God," Bahá'u'lláh, in a prayer
revealed in 'Abdu'l-Bahá's honor, supplicates, "that I desire for Him
naught except that which Thou didst desire, and have chosen Him for no purpose
save that which Thou hadst intended for Him. Render Him victorious, therefore,
through Thy hosts of earth and heaven... Ordain, I beseech Thee, by the ardor
of My love for Thee and My yearning to manifest Thy Cause, for Him, as well as
for them that love Him, that which Thou hast destined for Thy Messengers and
the Trustees of Thy Revelation. Verily, Thou art the Almighty, the
All-Powerful."
- Baha'u'llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The World Order of
Baha’u’llah’)
